Goldbrick Media system for vBulletin 3.6.x

Thanks to all who nominated or voted this for MOTM.

Some of you might be looking for Anymedia. Well this has replaced it. It's a total rewrite from the ground up. A huge thanks goes to Sir Adrian for creating the framework. He can't cook soup but he sure can code.

Why the name goldbrck?

From Wikipedia:

Goldbricking, in today's terms, generally refers to staff who use their work internet access for personal reasons while maintaining the appearance of working.

From Urban Dictionary:

Goldbricking: To loaf or goof around on the job. Supposedly an old union term describing laborers (or more specifically, bricklayers) who were going so slow, it was as if each brick were made of solid gold. One can alse be referred to as a "goldbricker".

Dude, I spent all day at work goldbricking - surfing the web, making long distance phone calls - basically just picking my ass.

Goldbrick uses the following third party Products:

• Highslide Javascript. I've packaged it with the 3.1 download. Please read the license agreement on highlide's website. In short it's free for non-commercial use. http://vikjavev.no/highslide/
• - - -
• The media player and mp3 player are from http://www.jeroenwijering.com/

Hi nix,

Can you add support to this adult website www.youporn.com ?

Thanks

[nix]

I added a couple of other adult sites but the only way so far that I can see to add youporn would be to have it download the flv file to your server and stream it off there. Not really an option for most.

[Finster]

It worked for a while, now the media player box, when I try to upload a YouTube video says:

"You need to upgrade your Flash Player tags"

My flash version is the latest for my os.

[nix]

Sounds ilke you're using an older version of anymedia. It also says that you haven't downloaded this mod.

[tipoboy]

just upgraded and got this error while trying to add a .flv video

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 17392233 bytes) in /mounted-storage/*******/******/************/mysite.co.uk/forum/includes/class_anymedia.php on line 247

uploaded all the new templates overwritn the old product etc

any help is appreciated

edit: just uploaded a wmv file and everything went ok, also tried the revert as mentioned in the original post and that didnt cure the error

[testebr]

I have same problem.

If I try add any video like this:

[media]url_here/video/any_video.wmv[/media]

My board load eternally and never post my message....

But for website like youtube all work fine.

What can be? That is a bug?

Thanks

hmmm I tested in localhost and I find the problem:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in .....................includes\class_anymedia.php on line 236

function hTittle()
{
$hurl = $this->_mediaInfo['link'];
$file = file($hurl);
$file = implode("",$file);

if(preg_match("/<title>(.+)<\/title>/i",$file,$m))
{
$htext = $m;
return "$m[1]";
}
}

*red = line 236

It is impossible to catch the title of a video. My suggestion is for you to review your programming.
